I was hoping that I would have an update today after our doc appt, but unfortunately it was cancelled because another patient was in labor! Needless to say I was slightly jealous (of the lady in labor!) but also a little bummed because I had really been looking forward to finding out if my body had made any progress! So...don't really have any official news to share, but life off of bed rest has been great so far!!
I made it to 37 weeks last friday and Mom and I went to the state fair on thursday to celebrate a day early!! We had a wonderful time (as usual) and I was just so thrilled to be able to go to the fair because considering everything that has gone on in the past few months...I really didn't think it would be an option! We decided to drive instead of riding the bus (just in case the little lady decided to come check out the excitement of the fair herself) so we arrived bright and early at 6:50am!!! We dropped Tom off at the airport to head to Yale...and then headed to the fair and got an amazing parking spot! I don't think I have been to the fair this early since Mom, Grandma and I used to go together when I was much younger. It was great!! The bathrooms were line-free, and we were able to poke around for a bit before things got crowded. Plus, it was nice and cool - so we could avoid pregnancy overheating! I had my traditional corn dog by 9:30am...and overall we just had a blast! We walked a lot, saw all of the "regular" spots that we like to frequent...and besides skipping the onion rings, we had my favorite fair foods.
So, here I am....still pregnant at 37 and a half weeks!! Definitely not the way I had anticipated it after about 16 weeks of bed rest...but even with the incredible amount impatience I am feeling, I have to remind myself of how thankful I am every day that our little girl has stayed safe inside of me! We rescheduled our doctor's visit for tomorrow afternoon so I will try to update the blog with new changes (if there are any!) Until then...I'm just waiting for our little lady to decide its time to make her debut! Love to you all! Enjoy the state fair pics...;-)
We figured this would be a great place to be in case I went into labor!
The happy ladies at the fair
Our new hats - pretty sexy! The salesman told us we needed to focus on our "Hattitude!"
I was a little worn out, but still having fun! I felt very refreshed after I finished my enormous lemonade!
